Do You Need a Designer Garage?

When it comes to garage organization, most of us invest in some shelves, throw out the trash and maybe get a couple of new cabinets or some overhead storage. But that’s not always enough! When it comes to those with money to burn, getting simple metal and white storage isn’t enough- creating a designer garage is where it’s at! What is a designer garage and do you really need one?

Designer garages are relatively new phenomena, gaining steam in the new millennium with the explosion of several businesses offering high quality glitz and glam for the garage. These things can range from handmade, wood crafted garage doors to polished countertops, high quality cabinetry and even porcelain tiles to get that showroom look. Most of these designer garages are now attached to your home instead of being detached and they are more often than not used for things other than storing a vehicle. Some of us may shake our head and wonder whether these designer garages are even useful for holding cars anymore (they look nice enough to be bedrooms in some cases!), but for others, the beauty of a designer garage is worth the cost. If nothing else, these garages are really fun to look at and they can give you some beautiful ideas for your own garage.

So let’s say that you don’t precisely have the money for a high end designer garage or you just don’t want to blow a ton of cash on it. That’s fine; there are many ways to get more organization out of your garage without spending thousands of dollars on it. For example, there are many high end cabinetry products which you can purchase online for cheap or you can get things that are just slightly out of fashion for far cheaper than buying high end fashion for your garage. Giving your garage a facelift in the form of a new paint job is also an inexpensive and great way to clean up and of course, making sure everything is off the floor and in its own place will always make your garage look fantastic.

Designer garages may look nice and they’re fun to ogle when you haven’t paid for them. But you can get a gorgeous looking garage no matter what your budget is by investing in some good storage, keeping your garage clean and maybe giving it a facelift with a new paintjob and some floor work. Remember, for most of us, the important thing is to have a clean garage, not necessarily one that looks like it’ll be marred by the car that’s supposed to stay in it! Keep your garage clean, keep an eye out for the deals, and anyone can get an attractive garage that is perfect for personal use and needs.
